To Us, there's nothing more important than your safety. And that's why we can offer you the best and most extensive range of Safety Harnesses available on the market. Remember, always think... Safety First!
Safety harnesses and accessories are vital for protecting workers in environments where falls from height are prevalent. From construction sites and roofing projects to industrial maintenance and energy production, using the right harness can prevent severe injury and even save lives.
WHAT IS A SAFETY HARNESS?
A safety harness is a protective system that is worn by workers operating above ground level to prevent them from falling. Harnesses evenly distribute the force of a fall across the wearers body, reducing impact and preventing debilitating injury.
Safety harnesses are most commonly seen in industries such as construction, roofing, window cleaning, scaffolding, and power generation.
TYPES OF SAFETY HARNESS
FULL BODY: A full-body harness is the most commonly used harness. It support the users entire body, distributing the impact of a fall across the shoulders, thighs, and chest.
POSITIONING: Work positioning harnesses are designed to keep users in a specific position, while allowing them to use both hands to work. Suitable for working on vertical surfaces such as ladders and poles.
SUSPENSION: These are typically used by operatives who need to remain suspended for longer period of time, such as window cleaners and exterior painters. Suspension harnesses provide additional comfort through padded leg straps and extra support.
CLIMBING: Climbing harnesses are lightweight, designed for comfort, and provide optimal flexibility. Suitable for professional tower climbers and rescue workers, as well as outdoor hobbyists, these harnesses come with leg and waist straps that allow mobility and fall protection.
RESCUE & RETRIEVAL: These harnesses are used in situations where workers may need to be rescued from confined spaces or after a fall. They often come with additional attachment points for easier retrieval by rescue personnel.
BEST PRACTICE
REGULAR INSPECTION: Always inspect your harness and accessories before each use. Look for wear and tear, frayed stitching, damaged D-rings, or malfunctioning lanyards. Replace any components that show signs of damage to ensure maximum safety.
PROPER FIT: A safety harness must fit correctly to function properly. It should be snug but not too tight, with straps adjusted to avoid slipping. Ensure that D-rings are positioned correctly for your job, and that the harness allows for ease of movement without compromising safety.
TRAINING: Proper training is essential for all workers using fall protection systems. Employees should be trained on how to wear, adjust, and inspect their harness, as well as how to use related accessories. Training should also cover how to respond in the event of a fall.
USE CORRECT EQUIPMENT: Different jobs require different harnesses and accessories. Make sure you’re using the right equipment for your specific task, whether it’s a full-body harness for fall arrest or a suspension harness for prolonged work at height.
FOLLOW MANUFACTURER GUIDELINES: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for using and maintaining your safety harness and accessories. This ensures the equipment is used correctly and lasts longer, providing the highest level of safety.
